Fog delays event

Men’s snowboard cross seeding rounds canceled

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — With heavy flog blanketing the mountain, the seeding rounds for the Olympic men’s snowboard cross competition have been canceled. Athletes will be seeded for the 1/8 finals based on their rank in the International Ski Federation (FIS) points list.

The competition was originally slated to start at 11 a.m. but was delayed several times as FIS officials waited to the fog to clear. As of 12:30 p.m. here, a heavy fog remained and limited visibility to about 50 feet.

“Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Gabby Douglas took part in her first workout with coach Liang Chow, the renowned leader of Chow’s Gymnastics and Dance Institute, for the first time since last August. Douglas, who twice won gold at the London Games, had moved to California to be closer to family. She went through drills Monday with Chow.”
